Signs Your Home Needs Siding Repairs
Deciding if your home needs siding installed or repaired involves considering factors related to its exterior condition, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements. Here are some signs that indicate your residential siding may need to be repaired:
Visible Damage
Look for visible signs of damage such as cracks, holes, dents, warping, or peeling paint on the siding. These are clear signs that it’s likely time to make some repairs.
Moisture Damage
Check for signs of moisture damage, such as mold, mildew, or rot, on the siding or inside your home. Moisture leaking into your home can lead to serious structural issues over time and should be addressed as soon as possible.
Fading or Discoloration
If the color of the siding on your home has faded or become discolored over time, it may detract from the appearance of your home and indicate that the siding is aging and in need of repair.
Energy Efficiency
Poorly insulated or damaged siding can contribute to energy loss and higher utility bills for your residential property. If you notice drafts or higher energy costs, it may be a sign that the siding is not providing insulation as it should.
Pest Infestation
No one like creatures entering their home uninvited. Siding that is damaged or deteriorating can provide entry points for pests so if you notice signs of pest infestation around the siding or in your home, it may be a sign that repairs are needed to prevent further damage and infestation.
Ultimately, the decision to repair siding on your home depends on your specific needs, budget, and goals. We’re here to help you make an informed decision and get the repairs you need to your siding done.
Our Residential Siding Repair Process
Repairing siding on a home involves several steps to effectively address any damage or issues and restore the integrity and appearance of your home’s exterior. Here’s a general overview of the process:
Assessment
We begin by assessing the condition of the siding to identify areas that require repair. This may involve inspecting the siding for signs of damage such as cracks, holes, warping, or moisture infiltration.
Preparation
Then we prepare the work area by removing any debris, obstructions, or damaged sections of the siding.
Repair
After that, we repair damaged or deteriorated sections of siding using appropriate materials and techniques. This may involve patching cracks or holes, replacing damaged panels or boards, or reinforcing weakened areas of the siding.
Sealing and Waterproofing
Then we apply sealant, caulking, or waterproofing materials to seams, joints, or gaps in the siding to prevent moisture infiltration and improve weather resistance. Proper sealing is essential for protecting the house’s interior from water damage.
Painting or Finishing
Then we paint or finish the repaired sections of siding to match the existing color or aesthetic of your home’s exterior. This helps blend the repaired areas seamlessly with the rest of the siding and enhances the property’s overall appearance.
Flashing Installation
We then will install flashing around the windows, doors, and other penetrations to prevent water infiltration and ensure a watertight seal. Proper flashing is essential for protecting your home from moisture damage and prolonging the lifespan of the siding.
Inspection
Then we inspect the repaired siding to ensure that it meets quality standards and complies with building codes and regulations.
Cleanup and Maintenance
To wrap up, we clean up the work area and dispose of any leftover materials or debris from the repair process. Provide the homeowner instructions for ongoing maintenance and care of the repaired siding to prevent future damage and prolong its lifespan.
